Looking for ways to speed up your cleaning routing? We’ve got you covered, here’s five of our favourite ways to make cleaning a breeze.

Robot vacuums

If you’re a fan of outsourcing the floors, robot vacuums can do the work for you, no sweat. We’re seeing the tech evolving fast with these compact appliances, which clean your floors using a combo of sensors, suction, rotating brushes and smart navigation systems. Some even use AI to detect hard-to-spot obstacles such as phone cables, and they’re able to manoeuvre across different floor types. And there are even some appliances with a robot vacuum and mop that does double duty on hard floors and carpets. These dual appliances are great for pet hair and easy to control using Amazon Alexa and Siri - plus they have 3D mapping technology so you can customise exactly where the robot vacuum goes.

Power scrubbers

There are lots of different types of power scrubbers - from compact handheld varieties, to cordless spin scrubbers and floor scrubbing machines. Power scrubbers may be battery powered or plugged into a powerpoint – and because these tools have fast rotating or oscillating brush heads, they’re great for making short work of tough dirt, stains and grime.

Use a power scrubber for cleaning tubs, tiles, grout and shower doors in the bathroom, or removing baked-on grease and grime on stovetops in the kitchen. They’re also useful for floor and wall cleaning, especially on tiles, hardwoods and baseboards – and outdoors, you can bring your patio furniture and decks back to looking new in no time.

Set-and-forget cleaning products

Every cleaner can get behind a product that requires nothing more than a quick application – it then goes to work without any elbow grease required from you.

Set-and-forget shower and tile cleaning products can be a huge time-saver for busy home-owners - you simply spray a fine mist over the shower and it helps keep the area free of soap scum, mould and germs. Plus, it smells nice too.

Similar products include the 30 Seconds 2L Window Wonder Outdoor Window Cleaner, which you simply spray onto windows until you get suds covering the glass, leave for 30 seconds then rinse off. Great for high windows you can’t get to!

Steam cleaners

If you don’t love using harsh chemicals to clean your home, steam cleaners are a worthwhile option. They use hot steam only to break down grease and grime, and these appliances also sanitise surfaces, killing 99 per cent of bacteria, mould, germs and dust mites.

Some handheld steam cleaners are lightweight and good for cleaning small areas in the home - while others, like the Dirt Devil SimpliSteam Steam Mop, features a long handle that's perfect for flooring, too. You can also get carpet steam cleaners, like the Hoover Power Scrub XL Carpet Washer, which removes deep-set stains in carpet and upholstery, but with fast drying times.

Multi-purpose cleaning products

Saving time (and money!) when cleaning is a big win for many of us – and that’s where multi-purpose cleaning products come in. Typically, these are products that can clean a variety of items and surfaces, like The Pink Stuff. This abrasive paste can clean saucepans, BBQs, ceramic tiles, glass, rust, sinks, garden furniture, paintwork and much more.

Another great multi-purpose product you’ll want in your cleaning kit is the Scrub Daddy Eraser Daddy. It’s a heavy-duty, tri-composite eraser that can shift crayon off walls, scuff marks off skirting boards and even soap scum, dirt and stains.

Get cleaning!

There are so many great products and innovations on the market now making your cleaning routine a breeze. Try some of these cleaning products for yourself and hopefully you can spend less time cleaning, but still have a sparkling house at the end of it.

 

Health & Safety

Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.

Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer.
